Oh man do I miss JB!!!! She rocked down the house and is much to good for the debacle that is GH. I hope she gets another role. She is too talented to sit on the sidelines.

On a side note, I cannot stand Laura Wright's portrayal. I know she has her fans but man she has not one iota of vulnerbility about her. I would rather them kill off Carly then continue to watch her in her present form.

I loved Jennifer as Carly. I loved all the actresses and what they brought to the Carly role, but Jennifer's Carly was special to me. My favorite Carly storyline with Jennifer was the breakdown story. The writing and acting was just so amazing.

Laura Wright's Carly is just plain bitter and rude...at least under Jennifer Bransford and Tamara Braun she had a loving side and some redeeming qualities.

I may be in the minority here but I felt Sarah Brown did not do as good a job in the role...the true Carly, IMHO, is Braun

Ohhhh, I loved Jennifer Bransford! The other day I watched 2 episodes fom last September that I enjoyed more than when they originally aired, and Jennifer was in it. I don't think she could do sexy hot bomb Carly like Laura or Tamara, so if she had stayed Carly would probably be written differently but she was, like it's been said, *special*, I had a very special connection with her, I don't know why.

She was not bad at all. I believe she didn't work because they chose her probably because of how she looked like Tamara Braun, or if you don't see it like she looked like she could be a substitute, it was like GH was saying you can't have her, you got her, and even if the actress is good I don't see most Sonny/Carly fans liking her, some thought she was not a hottie hottie too, which doesn't help. People saw her as a Tamara Braun bad clone. I hope you see what I mean. But the thing is that she was more in the mold of the previous Carlys, than Laura Wright who anyway I love.

She could've got another role and she would've worked better. I hope she gets another role on daytime, she probably didn't have time to audition, she's been through a tough time. :(

Thanks for the insightful post on Jen!!! It's great that this thread has been bumped.

So, just to make conversation, what current soap roles could you see Jen being a recast for? I could see:

- Alexis (GH)

- maybe Phyllis (YR)

- Taylor (BB)

- maybe Krystal (AMC)

I wasn't that much a fan of her Carly at first because it felt like such a huge jump to me with going from Tamara one day and Jennifer the next. But with the breakdown story she really grew on me and I loved the vulnerability she played with her at that time.

This version we have now is just all rabid dog with no vulnerbility and no remorse or softness. I was a Carly fan through Sarah, Tamara and Jennifer, but Laura's version killed my Carly fandom. There's just nothing about her now that is human about her.

    • I love me some Anita and TT. They need to give her a good storyline and I know that it's coming. 
    • @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that these were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER. 
    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol

You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore.
